About Me

I am Erick Otieno Juma, the fourth-born son in a family of six. Relatively all my siblings are in business and the young ones are in school. I grew up in Western Kenya, did my primary and high school education in Siaya County, and later joined Moi University in Eldoret for a BSc in Business Administration.

In 2015 while was trying to make ends meet, and also support my siblings, life took a turn that became so hard, and at some point towards the end of 2017, I had to sell my properties and travel back to the village. I indulged in small scale kales farming and would sell them to the kiosk mama mbogas. One morning in 2018, I woke up to cows on the farm finding it all clear and I moved to Homabay for omena and fish mongering and selling but all didn't go well and I moved again back home till 2021 when I moved to Nairobi for sales job in a microcredit organization. To support my family, I was encouraged to start a kinyozi shop and recently a cereals shop and at home started poultry farming.

This year for the cereals shop i paid 92 USD to our local county authority for business licence and a monthly rent of80 USD. I also pay 100 USD per month towards the wages of my employees.
I do re-invest my profits in my business, support to my parents and my siblings.

I am also into mentoring youths of life skills and entrepreneurship also support in sports activities. Having a daughter, of whom I desire to be a doctor and and entrepreneur
